What of your thoughts, Stranger?

My mug has stars

Next to it a book of

Poetry; not mine

Words from another mind

And with it is a pencil too

I don’t often write

In margins, I think

I am learning to make it a habit

But as I write I am left

Wondering, who will see this next

Some other poet with 

Their own words to write

A stranger with a

Philosophers mind

And will they see my words 

The same, a conversation with a dead artist

Will they add their own thoughts to the page

Make it a conversation of

Readers, one to the other

I have shared my thoughts 

Now, what of yours
